While discussing the Miller Orr model of cash management in my CA IPCC lecture, a question arose as to how to calculate cube root?

Suddenly it occurred to me that without scientific calculator, it is difficult to achieve; as, CA IPCC students are allowed to use only the standard calculator in examination. I. then decided to search a technique for quick calculation of cube root with a standard calculator or even without any calculator.

As expected, there were numerous resources on this subject, but many were giving complicated techniques of the same. I found three links which explained the concept nicely and in a simple manner for every CA IPCC student; whether with or without mathematics background.

Check this link from the blog page of www.1729.com to know step by step technique of finding cube root of 3 digit, 6 digit or 9 digit numbers.

Last but not the least, check this video to know a simple technique of quick calculation of cube root of a perfect cube not exceeding 6 digits.( remember the technique in the video is not applicable for a number which is not a perfect cube or which contains more than 6 digits)

And before I proceed to wish you all the best for your studies of cube root calculation, let me give you a gentle reminder, that it all started from Miller Orr cash management model, so come back to the calculation of "Z" once you find the cube root. :D
